Longinus

Longinus was a courtier of the Roman Empire under emperors Tiberius and Caligula in the early 1st century AD. Formerly an adviser to Tiberius, he was made Caligula's personal assistant when he succeeded Tiberius on his death in 37 AD, and he was a member of his retinue during his three years as emperor. In 41 AD, he decided to plot Caligula's murder as he took estates from the wealthy, used senators' wives as prostitutes, desecrated paganism, and launched a mock invasion of Britannia, and the Praetorian Guard prefect Cassius Charea would kill Caligula himself.
